In the opinion of the participants, called to take their destiny in hand, it’s time that women launch their own businesses. “When women have their own businesses, they flourish,” says Mariam Barry, actress. “We women, we have many ideas and projects, but we do not know how to build a strong business plan and find the required funding. This training will allow us to take our lives in hand by becoming entrepreneurs, “adds Hassanatou, one of the participants.
